An Egyptian and his wife have been referred to the State Security for making a hoax call, reports Al-Anba daily.

A security source said this happened over an argument between the husband and wife and she collected her bags and headed to the airport telling her husband she is leaving the country.

The husband called the Operations Room of the Interior Ministry and said his wife is embracing the Islamic State or the so-called DAESH ideology and may be involved in sabotage activities.

The airport authorities based on information provided by the husband prevented the wife from travelling and she told the authorities she hates DAESH and that the complaint was malicious filed by her husband and told the reason why.

According to security authorities the couple may be deported from the country for disturbing the authorities.
